About Caine and his progeny, about the
Antediluvians
The First One
His names
Usually named Caine, the Assamites name him Khayyin, some Malkavians name him
Utanapishtim [CbR-M].
The Second Generation
The basic legend
Caine is said to have three progeny, two male and a female, named Enoch (or Ynosh) the Wise,
Irad the Strong and Zillah the Beautiful, and these three progeny created the Antediluvians (the
3rd generation). The three first generations lived together in the so called first city. But the truth
may be much more complicated and some other children of Caine are heard of...
Other progeny
According to The Book of Nod, there was a fourth child of Caine : The Crone Lillith might be the
Crone, or another 1st generation vampire like Caine.
According to the Erycies Fragments, there were six of the Second Generation.
According to Clanbook: Assamite, the Khe-duk and Liada, King and Queen of Nod (En'esh)
were killed by Haqim, the Assamite Antediluvian who embraced himself with their blood.
Clanbook: Toreador Revised suggests that there was a "1st Generation" of two lovers Caine sired.
When they realized that they could not birth children, they walked out into the sun. Caine forbade
their names from being spoken, and when the Nosferatu Antedluvian mentioned these names and
called Caine the "great fool", he was thus cursed...
According to Clanbook: Baali, Caine had five progeny.
According to Clanbook: Ventrue Revised, p12, Caine had six progeny.
